1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundTurner syndrome is a rare genetic condition in which a female is partly or completely missing an X chromosome. Signs and symptoms vary among those affected. In fetuses that survive at birth and without congenital malformations, the prognosis is usually positive, but it has high lethality in utero, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy.

methodsWe report a case of monosomy X detected during a prenatal diagnosis for beta thalassemia on coelomic fluid (CF) at the VIII week of gestation. Beta globin gene analysis, whole genome amplification (WGA), quantitative fluorescent PCR and array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) were performed on DNA extracted from CF.

resultsA monoallelic pattern of all Short Tandem Repeats mapped on the X chromosome was found and array-CGH performed on WGA from a few fetal erythroblasts confirmed monosomy X.

conclusionThis report underlines the importance of an early prenatal diagnosis and the countless potentialities of array-CGH that could make definition of molecular karyotype possible from a few fetal cells, unlike conventional cytogenetic techniques that require a greater cellular content. This is the first report of a molecular karyotype obtained from two cells selected by micromanipulation of CF and defined at such an early gestational age.
